ya its better having susi downwind. Nicer view
We were riding in the north part of Antigua. There are some small islands that you can cruise around.
I'd say that the transport board isn't really a board you'd want to take in the waves but it's fun for exactly what we did in this video. If you are into cruising long distances and want a comfortable ride.
The fins are about 8" long

I am amazed how shallow the water was that you were kiting over with 8" fins! I would have hit a rock or coral for sure! I'd like to add a transport type board to my little "fleet" this year.

ya there were definitely spots that you had to be careful you didn't hit reef!!
I'd say a cruising board is a good board to have for the quiver!

Excellent shooting and editing on the cruising video Dre! It was also good to take another look at Antigua if only in video. It is a scenic place to kite and hang out. I only tried to Transport for a short time but liked it. The winds were lightening up but riding upwind wasn't a problem on it unlike with the tt's.
